Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk

almonds

filtered water (plus more for soakin overnight)

Add almonds to a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge. Soak 6-8 hours or overnight. This helps them soften enough so that they can blend properly.

In the morning, drain almonds from their soaking water and rinse them in a colander.

Add soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh filtered water to a high-powered blender. Add in vanilla, honey and salt.

Blend on high speed for 1 minute, adding 30 seconds more if you feel it necessary to blend.

Place your nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the almond milk into the bag and strain the liquid into the bowl, using your hands to wring out all of the milk.

Pour the almond milk from the bowl into glass jars. Almond milk will keep in the fridge for up to a week, if not longer. If it separates, simply shake the jars.

Almond Milk

filtered water

maple syrup

Step-by-Step How To Make Homemade Nut Milk. The process is much easier than you think. Just takes a little bit of planning to soak the nuts, then all you need is a high powered blender or food processor and a mesh strainer, cheese cloth or nut milk bag. Easy to customize and create your own flavors.

Homemade Nut Milk

raw almonds; soaked for 8 hours

water

raw cashews; soaked for 4 hours

pecans;

cinnamon

Medjool dates

vanilla bean (scraped vanilla

cocoa powder

Depending on what kind of nut milk you're making, soak nuts accordingly. I did not soak pecans but you can if you'd like. You'll need blender or food processor, fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag, large bowl and bottles or jars.

Drain: Add soaked nuts to strainer and rinse with fresh water.

Blend: Add nuts into blender with 4 cups fresh water; blend for 2-3 minutes. Nut milk should be creamy and opaque.

Strain: Place nut milk bag in large bowl (or mesh strainer over large bowl or 4 cup measuring cup). Gently pour milk from blender into nut milk bag. If using nut milk bag, squeeze all liquid out as best as you can into bowl – what is left behind is the pulp. See in post below recipe card for what to do with leftover.

Store: Gently pour nut milk into glass bottles – best to use a bowl with a pouring spout or use a funnel. Store nut milk in fridge. Best enjoyed within 1 week. Settling is natural – just shake bottle before pouring.

Thank you for the recipe! I was so happy to read the leftover almonds can be made into almond meal. Cannot wait to try this.

Thank you for the recipe, i am sure it will save a lot of money with this homemade nut milk compared to almond milk in stores. :)

Out of your favorite dairy free milk? Whip up a batch of this easy 1-minute milk beverage with whatever nuts, seeds, or grains you have on hand. It works wonderfully in smoothies, atop cereal, or in recipes that call for milk.

1-Minute Milk Beverage

unsalted nuts (seeds,

water (or as needed)

salt (omit if

Omega-3s: Grind up to 1 tablespoon of flax seeds

If using nuts, seeds, or grains, put them in your spice grinder or small food processor and whiz until powdered or beginning to take on a thick butter consistency, about 1 minute.

Put the ground nuts, seeds, or grains, or the nut or seed butter, in your blender and add the water and salt (if using). Once you get used to this recipe, you can adjust the liquid amount up or down to suit your desired consistency. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds, or until creamy.

If desired, pour the liquid through a sieve lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag to remove any remaining nut bits.

If using any optional add-ins, return the milk beverage to your blender, add your chosen ingredients, and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.

Store in an airtight bottle or container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It will settle and thicken as it sits. Simply thin with more liquid, if needed, and give it a quick blend.

love this! Looks like there are a ton of great recipes that are balanced. thanks for sharing!
